Yeah, that's a fair point. I've never been in an Aisle 24 store before, but based on pics online it seems perhaps more in line with 7-11 than a Rabba's.

Interesting choice. That model seems suited to low-volume convenience store, not relatively high cost real estate.

“We are expecting to have the majority of the retail open to the public by early March. I’m expecting about 80 per cent of the retail will be open. 90 per cent of it is leased. Some of those tenants are going to take a little bit later to open because the deals that we did we did them were a little bit later and the types of tenants I’m talking about are lululemon, Sephora. These are international brands that would be very recognizable. They’re not going to be open until kind of May,” said Harrison.
